Launched in 1929, Fleur de Tabac was part of the roaring twenties perfume trend for “tobacco”, considered daringly taboo when worn by young women. With its notes of iris and pipe tobacco, oak moss and tonka, this extrait summons the heady atmosphere of 20th century Parisian cabarets. The original formula has been analysed and reconstructed with the finest raw materials, conjuring searing jazz, frenzied dancing and rebellious chic.
All about this fragrance
Vibe check
The room is warm, the music lively, and conversation happens at close range. Powdery iris and soft woods suggest carefully dressed composure, while the tobacco-tonka undertone introduces a less formal intimacy: a fragrance for lingering after the evening has gathered momentum.
How to wear
The powdery woods and tobacco-tonka warmth make this a natural choice for cooler days and temperate evenings. Begin with one or two sprays on skin, letting body warmth soften the composition. In a warm room, apply lightly so the floral freshness has space alongside the richer base.
Who it’s for
For those who enjoy powdery iris, supple sandalwood and tobacco interpreted through flowers and tonka rather than heavy smoke. Its appeal lies in vintage textures with a sensual edge, especially for wearers drawn to woody fragrances that retain softness and floral detail.

Collaborators
Luc Gabriel led the house’s rediscovery and reconstruction project, gathering historical bottles through archival research, collectors and auctions. He worked with perfumers to rebuild the fragrances from surviving samples, adapting them to available materials and modern regulatory requirements.
Cherigan’s story
Cherigan connects the audacity of Art Deco-era Paris with contemporary perfumery, preserving vintage character without treating the past as untouchable. The revived house focuses on French-made extraits, high proportions of natural ingredients and considered packaging, with a stated ambition to make luxury more accessible.
Fleurs de Tabac’s concept
Introduced in 1929 as Cherigan’s launch fragrance, Fleurs de Tabac linked tobacco with the era’s changing ideas of freedom and independence. Its modern reconstruction draws on surviving perfume samples, instrumental analysis and repeated smelling, adapting the historical composition rather than reproducing it unchanged. Parisian cabarets, jazz and uninhibited dancing remain central to its imagery.
Extra info
Fleurs de Tabac was Cherigan’s first perfume. Despite its name, the modern fragrance gives considerable space to powdery florals and sandalwood rather than an overtly smoky tobacco effect. Cherigan specifies 90% natural ingredients for this extrait.
